Love & Gin

No one knows my trouble 
No one knows my sin
No one knows where I've been 
'cept my good ol' bottle of gin

Sometimes I lie awake and I think
Do I have what it takes?
I look back  on a life done wrong and I see 
I done made so many dammed mistakes

One time I had a lady 
she glistened like the shining sea 
 The only thing that could make me happy
and I drove her away from me

No one knows my trouble 
No one knows my sin
No one knows where I've been 
'cept my good ol' bottle of gin

My love has moved on, 
My friends are gone,
and all I have is this bottle of wine
Lord oh, take me from this life o' mine

Oh lord wont ya please, 
this pain has brought me to my knees!
Lord, I can't move!
Tell me before I'm deceased...

Do ya know my trouble?
Do ya forgive my sin?
Can ya take this has-been 
 from this empty ol' bottle of gin?
